Course Description

This course aims to introduce graduate students to major trends and debates in modern European historiography. In terms of subject matter, the readings will cover the period from the French Revolution to the postwar world and the era of decolonization. Thematically the course will be structured so as to approach the diverse methodological debates that have arisen amongst European historians in recent years. In this light, we will read works that draw on Marxism, feminism, and post-colonial theory, as well as works that engage the linguistic turn, the cultural turn, and the historians craft in the wake of both turns.
